8 a.m. classes. We all have to take them at some point in our college career. Usually, this is not a decision made by choice but one we are forced into going through what seems like the worst thing a college student has to endure. So here is the brutal reality of 8 a.m. classes as told by "The Office."

1. When your alarm goes off at 7 a.m.

2. Naturally, you lay in bed for 20 minutes contemplating whether or not to go to your 8 a.m.


3. Eventually you decide to try and do "life" today because ...

.

4. At the last minute possible, you jump out of bed, grab the first clothes you see, and dart out the door.

5. You sprint across campus completely disregarding the traffic and people around you.

6. As if you're not already running late, someone decides to try and stop you to have a conversation.

7. You finally make it to class and see that someone is sitting in your unofficial assigned seat.

8. So you're forced to take the seat next to that person who just so happens to be the biggest "morning person" you've ever encountered.

9. The lecture starts and you begin to fight the urge to doze off and return to the deep sleep you were so rudely awakened from.

10. Your professor is talking but you just can't seem to understand the words he's saying.

11. However, the two words that do catch your attention are "class dismissed."

12. You walk out of class feeling like you've conquered the world ...

13. ... only to realize you have to do it all again tomorrow.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Obsessive Thoughts Keep My Brain Stuck On A Loop And Me Stuck On My Couch

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.
